Amid the brisk laughter, Stark stepped forward ignorantly, walked towards the main hall of Radio City Music Hall, turned his head back subconsciously, and saw Renly and both parties hanging down relaxedly. When he got down, he still seemed at ease in the face of the stormy weather from the reporters, which made Stark smile again and move on.
He knew that Renly had managed to get him out of the way. Although it is a matter of course that the reporters surrounded Renly, but it was Renly's credit for him to retreat under the chasing of the reporters. Is this... sacrificing himself to save others
Biquge
The thought lightened Stark's footsteps.
"Renly, if you win tonight, you'll be the youngest ever EGOT winner, not only the first ever under 30, but the first ever under 40. Year-old winner, what do you think about this?"
If you stand at the height of time in 2018, the youngest EGOT winner in film history should be Robert Lopez. At the age of 38, it took only ten years to complete the Grand Slam - his EGOT The last one is the Best Original Song Award from the Oscars. On March 2, 2014, at the 86th Oscars, the theme song of "Frozen" completed such a feat.
It is June 9, 2013, "Frozen" has not yet been released, and Robert is still short of a golden man trophy from his Grand Slam.
So all the attention fell on Renly.
Imagine that before today, the youngest artist in history to achieve such an achievement was Rita Moreno, who successfully achieved it at the age of forty-six. It took a total of sixteen years before and after, which was also the shortest.
The eldest is John Gielgud, who received an Emmy at the age of 87 and completed EGOT. It took him a total of 30 years to collect four trophies.
In addition, the longest time was Helen Hayes, who won her first Golden Man trophy in 1932, but did not win the Grammy until 1977, which took 45 years.
Now, it was Renly Hall's turn.
Twenty-three years old is only half of Rita EGOT's age, and compared to John's words, this is already the age gap of being a great-grandchild; three years is only one-fifth of Rita EGOT's age, and Helen's. one-fifteenth. This is... this is... this is... this is... utterly jaw-dropping and unbelievable.
Any language seems pale.
Not to mention the reporters, even Renly himself couldn't believe it. It would be hypocritical to say that there were no expectations; but the problem is, everything is too real and too exaggerated, so Renly doesn't think he can win tonight, and he needs to wait patiently. One chance, he still has enough time to slowly wait for the next chance.
On the contrary, Andy, Nathan and Roy are more excited and can't help themselves; there are Paul Walker, Ryan Gosling, Rooney Mara, Steven Spielberg, Coen brothers and them It seemed even more uneasy, with expectations and fears, and the emotions of worrying about gains and losses could not be peaceful at all.
Even Edith couldn't calm down, and sent meaningless text messages at least three times today.
So, in the face of the reporters' restlessness, Renly can understand, and he also shows a rare display of patience.
"Sorry, I refuse to answer hypothetical questions, and I don't want the answer at the moment to be evidence of future slap in the face." The handy humor made everyone smile again, still the familiar Renly.
"So, do you want to win the prize?"
"Of course." Without any hesitation, Renly admitted frankly and frankly, but such an honest answer seemed straightforward and free and easy, without any unnecessary explanation, Renly shrugged lightly and said with a smile, "But I don't think that today The night belongs to me."
"Did you expect that you would be able to reach the heights tonight?"
"Honestly, no." Renly raised his eyebrows slightly. "Although this may sound particularly arrogant and harsh, the truth is, I'm not a genius. I never was."
There was a burst of booing at the scene. Everyone collectively complained that Renly's answer was unreliable. Some people in the crowd asked, "Then according to your definition, who is a genius?"
"Daniel Day-Lewis, Katharine Hepburn, Jodie Foster, Marlon Brando... It's a very, very long list, I could go on and on, but tonight you're not here to test me Rap level. So, let's stop here." Renly's eyes were still shining brightly, and he was still unhurried and calm in the face of such a concentrated attack.
"And what about yourself? You've achieved more now than those names you've spoken of!"
"Ha, I wouldn't say that." Renly chuckled cheerfully, "First of all, we have different definitions of achievement. Awards require strength and a little luck, but works don't lie. In other words, my personal works have not yet reached the level of classics and need to be further tested by time, so I do not agree with your judgment."
"What's next?" Now that the reporters have become accustomed to self-abuse, they will automatically complete Renly's words before they finish.
"Secondly, I'm a hard-working actor who can stand where I am now. Maybe, I'm the one who was in the right place at the right time. So, I don't think I'm a genius." Renly said in a relaxed tone. But still remain sincere.
"Renly, if you say that, you're not going to give the other actors room, are you?"
"That's my plan." Renly suddenly restrained his smile and affirmed in a serious manner.
The scene was silent for a moment, and then everyone laughed helplessly. People who don't know why think that Renly and the reporters are chatting, laughing, and being friendly; only those who really understand know that it's because the reporters are helpless and have no choice.
"What do you think about EGOT?"
"A glory that needs to be achieved by chance, but it is not a medal that accurately defines an artist. I always believe that the work is the medium that speaks for those artists," Renly said.
"You mean that this time, 'Les Miserables' can be recognized and become a classic, which is more important than awards?"
"Yes, that's what I meant," Renly replied again.
"Some people say that after the Oscars last year, you chose to go back to the West End, and it was all premeditated, targeting this year's EGOT, because you happened to win the Grammys and the Oscars."
"I have such suspicions now that I think about it, but whether my plan has succeeded or not, we will only know after the awards ceremony is over tonight, right?" Renly still took the trick steadily, not only light weight, but also easy and simple. This one-to-one-hundred calm temperament is really eye-catching.
Even the other guests on the red carpet couldn't help but cast their gazes.
"So, by choosing 'Boom Drummer' this time, does it mean that you are aiming for this year's or next year's awards season?"
Renly pursed the corners of his mouth lightly, "Wish me luck."
No refutation, no counterattack, or even explanation, he answered in a sarcastic and joking manner, which made the reporters' questions become more and more stupid, always seeming to be asking something meaningless. , and Renly answered without thinking or hesitation.
For a time, the reporters looked at each other in dismay. Facing the impeccable Renly, they really had no better way.
So, like a ghost hitting a wall, I went around in circles, and the question returned to the same place, "Renly, if you win the award tonight, what do you think?" After a pause, "I mean, If, just if."
Even the reporters themselves realized the stupidity of the question. They swirled around a single focus, chasing and asking questions, but couldn't find any predictable answer at all. As Renly said, until the results came out, everything was The answers are just useless assumptions, and if you are not careful, you may become the wound of the laughing stock.
Just like the Oscars in 2009, before the awards ceremony, Mickey Rourke, who had rejuvenated with "The King of Wrestling", was undoubtedly the most popular, and the statistics of the major outposts indicated that he would win the best actor of the year. The little golden man, including the Golden Globe Award, the British Academy Award and other important towns, has all been in the bag, but only lost the Screen Actors Guild Award.
So, on the red carpet, Mickey, who was proud of the spring breeze, put on a stylish all-white suit, which attracted much attention, and accepted the interview as an award winner, expressing his modesty and congratulations to his opponents. As a result, the best actor of the year was awarded to Sean Penn, who reached the top for the second time.
After that, Mickey's career fell into another long slump.
The reporters understood that, and Renly wasn't a complacent personality. But... the reporters were also forced into a corner, turning around and returning to the same place, like a maze.
"I think, at least I shouldn't be sad and disappointed." Renly said with a smile, using another humorous irony to make everyone feel powerless, and they couldn't help but shrug their shoulders and chuckle.
After that, Renly didn't stay any longer, and after a little nod, he took a step towards the hall.
At this time, the reporters became anxious again. They still had countless questions about tonight's historical night. Whether it was making history or passing by, it was obviously a moment worth remembering; but Renly did not stay any longer. At any opportunity, he walked away, leaving only a back, which made the reporters express their embarrassment on the spot.
After entering Radio City Music Hall, Renly immediately became the center of attention—
Not only journalists, to be precise, the entire theater industry and the entire film industry are paying attention to Renly. It is very likely that this will be a historical moment that will change the rules of the entire industry. No one can make an exception. stand up.
Ren Li let out a sigh of relief, and was a little nervous for a rare moment, then smiled and walked towards the crowd.
